The analysis is performed on an inclusive sample of multijet events corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb(-1), collected in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The search uses novel jet-substructure identification techniques that provide sensitivity to the presence of highly boosted vector bosons decaying into a pair of quarks. Exclusion limits are set at a confidence level of 95% on the production of: (i) excited quark resonances q* decaying to qW and qZ for masses less than 3.2 TeV and 2.9 TeV, respectively, (ii) a Randall-Sundrum graviton G(RS) decaying into WW for masses below 1.2 TeV, and (iii) a heavy partner of the W boson W' decaying into WZ for masses less than 1.7 TeV. For the first time mass limits are set on W' -> WZ and G(RS) -> WW in the all-jets final state. The mass limits on q* -> qW, q* -> qZ, W' -> WZ, G(RS) -> WW are the most stringent to date. A model with a "bulk" graviton G(bulk) that decays into WW or ZZ bosons is also studied.
